JULIUS IVI. REIS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

EMBROIDERY-FOUNDATION.

Application filed August 12, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS M. Rnis, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of New York city, county of New York, and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements inEmbroidery-Foundations, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to embroidery forms and more particularly toembroidery foundations adapted to be secured to fabric and thenembroidered over. In the manufacture of such forms or foundations it isfound necessary to include certain parts or lines to tie togethervarious parts of the design so that the form will not be easily broken,which parts or lines are adapted to be cut away after the form issecured to the fabric so as to leave the design in its proper form.

The main object of the invention is to provide such parts or lines withsuitable characteristics to indicate that they are to be cut out and notembroidered.

The invention will be more clearly understood from the detaileddescription given below taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing which forms a part of this specification.

In the drawing. Figure l .is a plan View of an embroidery form for theletter A without my improvements, and Fig. 2 is a similar view of anembroidery form of the letter A embodying my invention in one form,while Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate modifications.

Referring to Fig. l, the form is provided with a part or line 3 whichconnects or ties together the parts 4 and 5 of the form. As this part ismade integral with the rest of the form there is nothing to indicatethat it does not form part of the design of the letter to beembroidered. Accordingly as copies of this patent may be obtained forfive cents each, by addressing the Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 12, '1915. Serial No. 784,318.

shown in Fig. 2, I provide the part or line 3 with integralirregularities such as circular projections 6 which indicate to theperson doing the embroidery that this line or part is not to beembroidered but is to be cut out after the form is secured to thefabric. Of course, indentations may be made in the parts 3 for the samepurpose as illustrated in Fig. 3, but I prefer the pro jections ascharacteristics. Also instead of using such irregularities the part orline 3 might be differently colored as indicated in Fig. 4 for the samepurpose, but this arrangement is not preferred as the coloring entailsconsiderable extra expense and several other practical difiiculties.

Having fully and clearly described my improvements, what I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. An embroidery form or foundation adapted to be secured to fabric andembroidered over, in which parts which do not form part of the designand are adapted to be cut away, are provided with irregularities such asintegral projections or indentations to indicate that they are not to beembroidered over.

2. An embroidery form or foundation adapted to be secured to fabric andembroidered over, in which parts which do not form part of the designand are adapted to be cut away, are provided with characteristics toindicate that they are not to be embroidered over.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIUS M. REIS.
